I’m doing the story multiple times on my alts. I like it, btw, Anet. tnx.

Is there any point to making the back piece more than once, though?

It’s only an exotic piece, and it’s a lot of hassle and cost to make. Once I unlock the skin, I don’t see any point in making a second one.

Has there been any official word whether it might be used for something else, maybe? If that was the case, I could see, maybe, making more than one. Maybe. It’s a lot of work for an exotic, especially if you don’t have all the crafts.

I ran 11 toons through, but not buying anything for piece 1 or 2. If it ends up ascended, I could see making stat combos I do not have presently. I already have wings of dwayna and chaos of lyss – may not use the skin at all…..

If all you’re after is the skin, only 1 will be necessary. But if it’s like the Spinal Blades and you’re hoping to craft an ascended piece for all of your toons, then I’d suggest making a few. I have a feeling that’s the way this is headed (I hope).

I think the general concensus of the Spinal Blades was that they were very well liked and the method for advancing the back item was cool, but since the whole evolution dropped at once it felt grindy. This new chapter by chapter scavenger hunt feels like an improved way to step-by-step build an ascended back item.

The vine will never be as useful as the spinal blades if it doesn’t let you choose stats. It’s not inconceivable that a future evolution will let us do that, but the spinal blades had that option from the start, so I’m not getting my hopes up that the vine will ever have anything other than Nomad stats.

Unless you really want those Nomad backpieces, 1 of these should be plenty, to gain access to the skin, like Seras above me said.

This. If we can select the stats once it reaches ascended, then yes, it might be worth making several of them. But if it’s going to be stuck at Nomad, then it’s only worth the skin(s).

Well we already know it will be upgradeable, the only question is if the stats will upgrade or just the skin. I imagine it will become ascended eventually and have selectable stats.

If it can ultimately be upgraded to different versions then more than 1 will be useful, otherwise no need.

So at least until tomorrow it is more of a wait and see.

This first one storywise seems to be our first attempt at taming a Mordremoth sprout. Considering we get a new seed, we should start improving our attempts.

It doesn’t seem out of the question that we might be able to nurture it “into the stats we want”.

I haven’t even decided if I’m gonna make the back piece once.

Same here. Its current incarnation looks awful. I’ve got everything from the stories “infused.” Still not sure it’s worth the gold/effort yet. Need to see what it’ll grow into. And if it’ll have selectable stats and/or an ascended version. Hopefully that will be answered this evening.

I’ve collected almost every backpiece so far, and have yet to use one. I don’t feel like a whole lot of grinding for something I’m not gonna use.
